I am currently a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Daniel Johnston. My research involves computational modeling of dendrites, including studying some of the properties of signal transfer in dendrites of CA1 pyramidal neurons due to the presence of h-channels in the membrane.
I received my Ph.D. from Brandeis University in Waltham, MA, in the lab of Dr. Larry Abbott where I investigated computational models of spike-timing dependent forms of synaptic plasticity and synaptic scaling in dendrites. I can tell you all about anti-STDP.
I received my B.S. degree in physics at the University of Utah. I can tell you all about laser-induced thermonuclear fusion. Check out the soon to be operational National Ignition Facility.
I could continue back all the way to kindergarten, but this should suffice for now.
